As a global leader in Environmental, Health, Safety, and Quality (EHSQ) software, Intelex is continuing its mission to build sustainable business solutions that have real-world impact.
We are seeking a strategic and commercially driven Senior Director of Product to own Intelex's inorganic growth agenda - including selective M&A opportunities, technology partnerships, and product strategy - alongside the company's market intelligence and competitive intelligence functions.

In parallel, you will build and own Intelex's market and competitive intelligence capability - establishing the systems, processes, and analytical frameworks that ensure every product, sales, and go-to-market decision is grounded in the best available external data. You will synthesize intelligence from customers, competitors, analysts, and market signals into actionable strategic insights that shape Intelex's roadmap, positioning, and investment priorities.
